NBC Moves the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards to a Monday

NBC has moved the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards from a Sunday to a Monday.

This year's Emmys will air on Monday, Aug. 25, live on both coasts beginning at 8/7c. NBC normally airs the Emmys in August instead of September to accommodate Sunday Night Football commitments. The network opted not to air the ceremony on a Sunday because the MTV Video Music Awards had already booked Sunday, Aug. 24, and because the following Sunday, Aug. 31, is during Labor Day weekend.
